Tear down prepping for Hotrod Al to do some porting and polishing.
That is the only reason you really need.

I received my seat from Pirate Upholstery Friday and got it installed on the bike. Its even more comfy then it is awesome looking.

Waiting for you to come home. (Taken with instagram)
My TV is broken so I took some time to update the look of the ol’ blog here. I like it and hope you do to. Send a message if you have thoughts.
The Scooter Cannonball is not until April, but it feels like its happening next week. Just got done booking most of the hotels for the main part of the trip which relieves a little stress. Booking hotels in these little towns requires a phone and a little patience. They dont have online reservations or even a confirmation number to give me. Hope they have a room when I show up.
Just picked up a new sponsor for the Cannonball in April. Pirate Upholstery out of NY. They will be fixing up my old and busted seat so that I can ride in comfort over the 2500 miles.
I will post some pictures of the new hotness when it comes in. I cant wait to try it out!
Check them out at their link above or on Facebook.
Found this great photo. Wish I would have thought of that for my Fool tattoo.

I am now an offical rider in the 2012 Cannonball Run. #24
I have an official support vehicle and support driver for the Cannonball Run. Red Rocket (NM Pharaohs) or Jeremy as some know him has agreed to drive me and my scooter to Savannah, GA then follow my stupid slow self all the way to San Diego, CA and then bring me and the scooter back home.
How freaking cool is that?
It doesn’t stop there, the scooting community has already started stepping up and offering some help along the way. Lisa aka Princess Fury is helping me reach out to other places to fill in some gaps in gear that I need to make the ride. Nick O.aka Jersey might even come out and make a little documentary about the ride.
Scooter Mercato has stepped up to be my shop sponsor. They will be assisting with consumables like oil, tires, and spare bits that I need along the way. A newcomer for me is Piston Ported who is going to provide me with “Vintage Scooter Parts, Apparel and Shit” which includes some a new pipe.
So with all that lined up, I sent off my registration as well. I should have an official rider number next week.
